Betty Boop To Make Her Feature Film Debut

After a 1993 effort went bust, 1930s cartoon icon Betty Boop will finally be making her feature film debut with the help of Simon Cowell and his Syco Entertainment company. Cowell’s company, along with Australian animation studio, Animal Logic [“The LEGO Movie”], will be producing the film after agreeing to a licensing arrangement with Fleischer Studios [who own Betty’s rights]. The animated film will be a music-driven hybrid animated comedy and signals Betty’s first film appearance since a cameo in 1988’s “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”

No release date was set for the Betty Boop film but a 2016 or 2017 date is expected.
